Hello CO Birders, I had the pleasure once again of leading a CFO shorebirding field trip to Prewitt Reservoir (Washington County) on Sunday.
Saturday night's frontal passage encouraged many birds to depart but not arrive at this site (compared to the two previous days). Don't get me wrong, there was still a very impressive array of shorebirds and other waterbirds there, but the numbers were down. We tallied 18 shorebird species and the most uncommon ones were a juvenile *Short-billed Dowitcher*, a *Sanderling*, a *Black-bellied Plover* and several *Semipalmated Plovers* . One of the highlights was an excellent concentration of peeps along the inlet canal providing us a perfect study of Least, Semipalmated, Western and Baird's sandpipers intermingling.
